Lately, it seems, Republicans are becoming more popular by rallying against popular positions. Yesterday I highlighted the fact the GOP blocked, with only 40 votes, a very popular piece of legislation. In the non-Republican Fantasy World, when a political party is in a position of extreme minority like the GOP currently is and it blocks legislation 75% of Americans support it would spell disaster for that party. Since we are all forced to live in the fantasy land, the opposite is being reported.
Republicans are getting away with it by using their very predictable fake concern for the deficit. And given the fact the national economy is in slow-mode to recovery, they are able to keep the deficit theme on the front-page. But, even when it comes to the deficit, Republican policies are once again, very unpopular.
Nearly every poll ever taken shows Americans support letting the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthiest Americans expire like they are scheduled to do at the end of this year. That is the exact opposite of what Republicans are proposing. With two very important issues facing our nation this November (repeal DADT and tax cuts), it is the Democratic plan that is widely supported by the voting public. It's even deeper than that. Issue after issue, from trust to having solutions to fix the economy, Democrats are more popular than Republicans.
So why are we constantly forced by the MSM to bend over backwards for the GOP and treat it like it has a plethora of popular positions when it doesn't have a single one?
